There were some sus fork specific hubs like the XT 110 parallax and the hope ti ones but, normal hubs are fine and will do the job no problem. I've run stx with rockshox, white industries with rockshox and '95 LX with girvin vectors.

I remember around 93 before anyone had started to make suspension specific hubs you could buy outer lock nuts with a larger flange diameter. I can't remember who had them, maybe Wheels. Tried a set on a 732 hub on my first Mag21. They did make a small difference in side to side tracking stiffness. Haven't seen a set since then.

This was just an early example of companies extracting more money from consumers by telling them there was a problem that their new product could overcome... fair enough, that's progress and evolution, without which we would still be scooting around on wooden, pedal-less bone shakers...Today however, because we get all get misty eyed about how much simpler, more honest or better things were when we were kids, or when we first got into mtb, it's ok... yet have a moan about too many gears, weird wheel sizes, hydro-forming and new designs, or not v brakes or discs....Make no mistake, things were exactly the same then as they are now
